Conference Objectives

Principal Conference Objective

The principal conference objective is to answer the question: How will CPV technologies fit into our energy future? To guide the conference to the objective, keynote speakers will survey the landscapes of CPV technology (reflective, refractive, linear, point focus, storage, etc.), markets (requirements, competitive landscape, investors, policies, analysis, risk, etc) and projects (large, small, funding, etc.).

Overall Conference Objectives are to:

• Permit the sharing of new and critical research and market information leading to higher performance and lower electricity cost from solar concentrator technologies, including both CPV & CSP (Concentrating Solar Power)

• Encourage discussions of field experience of solar concentrator projects for the development of more reliable technologies and improved technology standards

• Stimulate an exchange of views concerning entry and large-scale markets appropriate for concentrator technologies

• Provide insight for further research on solar concentrator technologies

Background

The International Conference on Solar Concentrators for the Generation of Electricity provides an opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research, industrialization and commercialization of solar concentrators for generating electricity. The conference will emphasize in-depth technical discussions on the science, engineering, and economics of systems that convert concentrated solar radiation to electricity, with primary emphasis on photovoltaic (CPV) technologies.

Very high-efficiency solar cells — now over 40% — have recently been developed using multifunction concentrator cell technology. This development has increased the potential of solar concentrators for generating low-cost electricity or hydrogen. Solar electric concentrators could dramatically overtake other PV technologies in the electric utility marketplace because of the low capital cost of concentrator manufacturing facilities and the larger module size of concentrators. The current feed-in tariff conditions in Spain, Italy, Japan, and the positive perspectives in USA and Greece provide the opportunity for development of large power plants, long assumed to be the natural market for PV concentrators.

Around the world, researchers and engineers are developing solar concentrator technologies for entry into the electricity generation market, and several have explored the use of concentrators for hydrogen production. The last conference on the subject was held in March of 2007, and proved to be an important opportunity for technology and business leaders to share new and crucial information that is helping to stimulate projects in their countries. The accelerated activity in high-efficiency terrestrial cell R&D and manufacturing in the last three years, coupled with industrial developments at key concentrator PV companies, promise an exciting conference for researchers, developers, and investors alike.

Topic Areas

The conference will consist of technical and economic presentations providing the most current and significant information on solar concentrators.   Invited speakers from private companies, universities, and laboratories around the world will discuss such topics as:

Applications, Policies and Market Studies identifying important entry points for the rapid development of solar electric concentrator technologies in sustainable energy markets.

Economic and Investment Issues including discussion of financing needs for manufacturing facilities and field projects.

System Studies including cost studies and designs for cells, optics, tracking, and the total system in support of high system performance and low cost for converting sunlight into electricity.

Codes and Standards to provide assurance to customers of reliable field operation as well as minimize probability for failures of new concentrator technologies.

Field Performance measurements and evaluation of concentrator projects to permit realistic evaluation of overall system performance, system reliability, and identification of design requirements that could lead to revised and better designs and standards for testing or certifying solar concentrator systems.

Solar Cells for high-flux concentrator systems, including studies on high-efficiency cell materials and designs, their characterization, special measurement requirements, performance, long-term behavior, reliability and cost.

Cell Assembly, to respond to issues of flux non-uniformity, chromatic aberration, cell protection, mounting and interconnect bonding, passivation of cell interconnects, development of secondary optics, heat sinking, cell degradation, and reliability.

Optics, including studies of reflective, refractive, holographic, secondary optics, materials and designs.

Low-Concentration Approaches, including cell cost, optical and tracking accuracy, potential for one-axis or static concentration, packaging, and other issues.

Tracking, using active or passive control schemes dealing with tracking accuracy, control logic, system protection, redundancy, and reliability.

Innovative Concentrator Concepts involving non-conventional solar cells, optics, tracking or system designs.

Hydrogen-Generation Pathways, including use of feedstocks containing water or carbon and using concentrated solar energy concepts.

Related Technical Issues, such as storage for electricity or hydrogen, solar resource data requirements, grid interconnection requirements or other technical and market issues that may arise in some applications.
